When you have five bridesmaids, five groomsmen, three page boys and a flower girl, you want to keep a tight rein on everything to make sure that it all runs smoothly. And yes it did…..right down to the kids all behaving beautifully, especially the one who had both the rings.

What a beautiful chapel at Tatra Receptions! It is surrounded by lots of ferns, trees and other greenery which can all be seen through the many large windows, giving a very picturesque atmosphere. It also housed a grand piano which was used for the music today adding to the happy moment.

I was approached the other day about doing a “surprise wedding” in a few months’ time. These weddings seem to be coming more and more popular these days as the element of surprise often adds fun and merriment to the actual ceremony.

I have had the pleasure of conducting weddings all over Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. Sometimes I have traveled for couple of hours to the venue but today was a real treat. The wedding venue was 2 minutes’ walk away from my house!
